Years of experience

Quality and customer focus

“Jesús Gil Escoin S.A. is a family company founded in 1958 by Jesús Gil Escoin. It has always been -and is currently- owned by the founder’s family. With a long tradition in paper packaging and machinery manufacturing, it has been producing sacks and machines since its creation, and bags since 1994.”

That's how it all began

Founded in 1958 by Jesús Gil Escoin in Albalate del Arzobispo, the company has remained family‑owned and actively managed by the founder’s family from the very beginning. Initially, the business focused on the manufacture of paper sacks and machinery, later expanding its production to paper bags in 1994 in response to evolving market needs.

At the same time, the original facilities in Zaragoza, which first operated as a machinery workshop, progressively transformed into a fully specialised open mouth and valve sack manufacturing plant, thereby aligning production capabilities with customer demand.

The Zaragoza site was originally a workshop and machinery factory, but later became a bag factory in response to market and customer demands.

Growth and consolidation

Over the years, Gil Escoin steadily established itself as a benchmark in Europe, thereby acquiring extensive expertise in the sack and bag manufacturing process. In parallel, the company developed in‑depth knowledge of machine configuration, maintenance and end‑to‑end production management from a global industrial perspective.

As a natural next step, we have expanded into the retail market, broadening our production options and technical capabilities. Moreover, as the largest producer of industrial bags in the Iberian Peninsula, our accumulated experience and production capacity enable us to compete very effectively in the retail sector.

Looking to the future

Looking ahead, the company’s demanding quality standards continue to drive constant innovation and sustained investment in new technologies.

As a result, this ongoing commitment has positioned Gil Escoin as a market leader in Spain and Europe as a industrial manufacturer of paper sacks and bags, with more than 25% of total production exported.
